Building Simulation [Module 2]

Harvard GSD

This course is the second of four modules (6121, 6125, 6122, & 6126) and constitutes part of the core curriculum in architecture.Objective: The best intent does not always lead to the best performing design, as intuition and rules of thumb often fail to adequately inform decision making. Therefore, high-performance architecture increasingly utilizes simulation tools to eliminate some of the guesswork. Simulation is the process of making a simplified model of some complex system and using…
